Huzzah: Obama to pivot to the economy tomorrow, again

posted at 4:01 pm on June 16, 2014 by Erika Johnsen

President Barack Obama will visit Bakery Square in Larimer to deliver a speech on the economy Tuesday afternoon.

The White House says Obama will visit TechShop, a fabrication and prototyping studio open to the public via paid memberships.

“The most important thing about TechShop and what it symbolizes is that this really is the future. It’s the intersection of technology, machines and people making things, and that really is the collision that’s right around us,” said Audrey Russo, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Technology Council. “The exciting thing is that Pittsburgh has a lot of core competencies in this arena.”

Who even knows anymore whether this counts as a full-on “pivot,” but I suppose we’ll just have to wait with bated breath to see if the White House is going to take this particular sojourn as another opportunity to drop some new and glorious executive order on us — which will almost inevitably lie somewhere between “pointless” and “outright damaging” on the effectiveness spectrum — or if this is merely going to be yet another chance for His Eloquence to deliver an overly affected progressive soliloquy to which not even the people present will pay attention. Either way, despite the administration’s insistence on the foremost importance of the economy, they do seem unusually eager to talk about it when they want to especially avoid talking about something else. The Obama economy just contracted, after all, as Noah aptly reminded us this morning, and Democrats’ excuse about the extraordinarily cold winter being such an insuperable barrier to economic growth — as if no harsh winter in all of American history has ever witnessed a period of economic growth, and there are no other major factors to blame — is the lamest of the lame. Still, better for Obama to talk about why those spiteful Republicans are refusing to work with him on job creation than address a little ol’ foreign-policy flareup like Iraq falling apart, eh?

More than likely, Obama will be attending a fundraiser Tuesday night in the Pittsburgh area, and giving an official speech *wink wink, ya know what I mean, ya know what I mean* reduces reimbursement costs for AF1.

World: You know, Ukraine and Iraq is in serious trouble. Russia just gave tanks, TANKS, to Ukrainian rebels and is about to turn the gas off from Europe. And Iran, a State Sponsor of Terrorism by the way, is ready to march into Iraq and start a regional war. We can really use some good old fashion American leadership here!

This stupid rat eared basra rd president expects companies to hire due to his EXCESSIVE REGULATIONS???? The companies he is visiting will like others close due to these regulations. This As s doesn’t care, and is either demonic or a moron or both. Yes I detest this fool.

He’s just going to preach about how the last couple rich people he hasn’t taxed or penalized to death for running a small business need all their wealth confiscated to feed the new surge of democrat voters…I mean illegals and pay for the pregnancies conceived in the shelters down there.

Or he’s going to talk about how great a job he’s done, and anything not great is obviously George Bush’s fault, not his.

Some think Obama pivots to a new subject to escape the fallout of his incompetence. That’s only partly true. Having accomplished suitable damage in one area, Obama turns his destructive talents toward a new target.

Every time there is a new Obama Scandal he ‘pivots’ to a new topic / issue….and $cews that one up / starts a new scandal there and is forced to ‘pivot’ to another new issue….. He is starting to run out of issues to which he can ‘pivot’… Everywhere he turns, every issue is tainted with scandal, incompetence, treason, broken laws, and Constitutional violations…
